The latest STIs/WRX how much to the tank
Hi peeps,
Im being forced out of scoobydom just at the moment as the £90 a week to go 500 Miles is getting a bit ott. I plan to return soon with a newun, but what are the real world figures for the new scoobies.
ie how much do you get to a tank. For the time being the 306 will have to suffice mumble mumble. Dont half miss the kick in the pants at 3.5K

Normally a 20 mile drive to work, twice a day
I got 264 before the warning light came on, then 274 before filling up with exactly 50 litres.
Thats 5.48 miles per litre (no idea what that is in mpg)

2003 STI Ecuteck'd by Bob Rawle
220-250 miles on £40 Optimax
I did manage 25mpg the other day, but that was under 3k driving on dual-carrageways for 3 hours!

On the last tank I got 301.5 miles to 50.07 litres (low light not on), that's 27.4 MPG, WRX03 PPP. I'd guess I could get another 20 miles before the light comes on.

what is most optimistic mpg expected
at the other end - cruising at 95 in 6th for full tank - what can be expected?

I would reckon somewhere around 150 - 200 for both scenarios, maybe a little more for the motorway.........
Booting the car to the rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd will eat petrol at a huge rate.
